The bill just came. Now what?
Here's exactly what to say, and how much to actually tip in Morocco — restaurants, cafes, taxis, and riads.
🍽️ Asking for the bill
L-hsab, afak
(l-HSAB, a-FAK) — "The bill, please"
Say this instead of waving or making a scribbling motion — waiters respond faster to the phrase than to gestures, and it signals you're not a first-timer.

💰 How much to actually tip
| Restaurants (no service charge) | 10% |
| Restaurants (service charge included) | Round up / 5% |
| Cafes (coffee, tea) | 3–5 MAD |
| Taxis | Round up to nearest 5–10 MAD |
| Riad staff (per stay) | 50–100 MAD |
| Tour guides (per day) | 100–150 MAD |
The trap most tourists fall into: in tourist-heavy areas, some restaurants quietly add a service charge to the bill and then still expect a tip on top — always check the bill line by line before deciding how much to leave.
🙅 If something looks wrong on the bill
Ma fhemtsh had ttaman
(ma-FHEMTSH had ta-MAN) — "I don't understand this price"
Calm, not confrontational — this phrase alone gets most billing mistakes corrected on the spot.
